This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves and more particularly to a cooking stove.

One of the objects of my invention is the '5 provision of a cooking stove wherein the articles being cooked are all enclosed, so that the odors therefrom will pass outwardly through a suitable conduit, thus providing an odorless, fire-proof and sanitary stove which will A also eliminate the danger o gas explosion and incidental dangers from escaping gas due to the fact that any escaping gas will readily pass out through theconduit andnot into the room in which the stove is located. v

lAnother object of my invention is the provision of a cooking stove of the above characterwhereinthe various burners on whicharticles are cooked are enclosed within suitablerchambers which have outlets .for congo veying any odors, steam or the like, and prevents them from escaping into the room` in which the stove is located, and at the same time is provided with movable shelves for supporting vessels above the burners whereby the vessels may be readily placed in position over the burners or removed therefrom.

vision of a stove of the above character wherein the burners in certain of the compartments are arranged one above the other and ,the conduits leading to the burners are controlled by a novel valve construction whereby .one or more of the burners may be readily connected to the fuel supply and the fuel easily regulated so that should itbe desired to use only one of the burners, this can be done without the necessity of using any of the other burners, or all of the burners may be used simultaneously.

A still Jfurther object of the invention is l 404 the provision of a stove of the above char.

. acter which has incorporated inl its construction, suitable cabinets for the' storage ,of cooking utensils and also for the pu se of retaining cooked foods in a beate 'condition until served.

the accompanying drawings wherein:

with three 'separate burners and the supply readily VWith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claim and shown in 50 Figure 1 is a front elevation of a cook stove constructed in accordance. with my invention' l Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view; 55 Figure 3 is a detail section-illustrating the arrangement ofthe valves whichrcontrol the leads to the burners;

Y Figre 5 is a perspective view of a hook mem r to be used 1n connection with the movable supporting grates; and .A

Figure Gris a detail section illustrating a slightly modified form `of the invention.

Referring more particularly to the drawings 1 in general indicates the body of my improved stove having suitable supporting legs 2, and it will be noted that the base portion A further object of the invention is the proof the stove forms the main body and comprises a chamber 3 in which are arranged a number of burners 4, and supportexl above these burners in suitable guide ways 5 are .the grte members 6 which have at their 4forward edges suitable eyelets 7 which `can be engaged by the hook portion 8 of the rod 9, the rod having a suitable handle 10 for manipulating the same when removing the grate 6..

, The burners 4 have leading thereto suitable conduits 11 which are connected to the supply pipe 12 through theV medium of the valve 513. The particular construction of this valve 41]; whereby connection between the supply pipe 12 and any one of the burners can be established. hev chamber is closed at its'front4 side 00 by-means of a movable Vdoor 16' having a suitable handle 17, and mounted upon the hinges 18 whereby thisdoor may be readily lowered for gaining access to the chamber 3- and the 'door is provided with a transparent panel A19.soV that the entire interior of the chamber 3 may be viewed from the/front of the stove. The top portion of the stove is generally indicated at 20 and this top portion is d1- vided into separate chambers by means of a lpartition 21 forming the two side chambers 22 and 22'., said chambers having communication with the outlet pipe or conduit 23.

The partition 21 is provided with an opening 24 whereby any'odors from either chambermaypass to the other chamber and then out through the pipe 23.. This opening 24 allows for a thorough circulation of air around the articles being cooked in the upper chambers, so that 4the odors therefrom will be readily carried out through the conduit.

Within each of the chambers 22 and 22', I provide three separate burners and in cham- =ber 22, it will-be noted that two ofthe burners are arranged in a lowermost position and indicated-at 25, while'the upper burner 26 is arranged centrally and above the burners 25, suitable conduits 27 connecting the supply pipe 12 with the burners 25 and 26 and the fuel supply of said conduits being Icontrolled by one of the valve members 13.

Arranged above the two sets of burners 25 and 26 are the grate members 6, which'are mounted in the same manner as the main grate 6 in the chamber 3, and areprovided with eyelets 7 to be engaged by thehook member 8.

The chamber 22' has the same 'number of burners as the chamber 22, but in this cham` ber the single burner 26.is arran ed below the burners 25', the burners 25 eing the uppermost burners in this chamber, and these burners 25 and 26 are connected by means of conduits 27 to the supply, pipe 12 with one ofthe valve members 13. In chamber 22 suitable grates 6 are also provided which are slidably mounted within the guides in the same manner as the grate 6.

Both chambers 22 and 22 are provided' with openings-normally closed by means of the doors 28 having transparent panels 29 whereby the interior ofthese chambers may be readily viewed from the exterior of theV stove. l

Mounted between the front supporting legs and beneath the main body portion of the stoveis a chamber 30 having suitable Adrawers 31 slidably mounted therein, in which various types of cooking utensils may be retained. Each of the drawers 31 has a handle 32 whereby the drawers may be readily slid outwardly to gain access thereto.

At each side of the upper chambers 22 and 22 of the stove, I provide suitable cabinets with access -gained therethrough, throughV the doors 33 and these cabinets may be utilized for containing cooking utensils or for containinv cooked foods where it is desired to maintain them in a heated condition until served.

In Figure 6, I have illustrated a slightly modified form of the invention wherein the openin 24 and asimilar opening 2 4 are normal y closed by means of valve members. The opening 24"is.for1ned in a horizontal valve plates 35 and 35', whereby these openand out through the ings may be maintained in an open or closed position as required, said valve plates having stems 36 which lead to the front part of the 'stove' so that they can be readily actuated when desired.

It will be apparent from the foregoing description taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, that I have provided arnovel type of cooking stove which Will practically eliminate any odors from the cooking and will prevent the odors from escaping into the room in which the stove is lar arrangement of burnersm my improved stove, several cooking utensils of different sizes can be used inthe different compartments at one time, and one or more of the. burners 1n each compartment can be used as desired. Y

The arrangement 'of burners is extremely useful and the'use of the grates 6 and 6 is advantageousv to a stove of this character as the different cooking utensils can be quickly and readily placed in position within the stove or removed therefrom. A While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it

located, but will carry them out through the will be apparent that slight changes may v bemade in the construction when putting the invention into practice without departing from the spiritof the same or the vscope of the appended claim.

I claim: A stove of the class described including a body having supporting legs, said body being provided with superposed chambers, re'

movable drawers arranged in the lowermost chambers, spaced burners arranged in the same general plane in the intermediate chamber, superposed burners arranged in each of the upper chambers, the partitionwall between the intermediate and upper chambers having o nings adjacent the vertical partition of t e uppermost chambers, said Y vertical partition havin'ga transverse opening to provide for a orough circulatlon of air through the intermediate chambers and the upper chambers and a warming oven at each side of the uppermost portion of the stove body and arranged adjacent the upper chambers.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee andv State of Wisconsin.
